## Description

The American Folk Art Museum is New York City's only museum exclusively dedicated to folk and self-taught artists. Since 1961, we have celebrated the creativity of individuals who have honed their talents through personal experiences rather than formal artistic training. Our collection boasts over seven thousand captivating works of art from various continents and centuries, including mesmerizing portraits, exquisite quilts, and powerful contemporary pieces in diverse mediums. Through critically acclaimed exhibitions, inspiring educational programs, and robust community outreach, our mission is to shape the understanding and appreciation of folk and self-taught art across time and place. As a member-supported institution, we rely on the generosity of our visitors to support our exhibitions and educational initiatives. Admission to our museum is free, allowing everyone to experience the empowering stories of everyday life depicted by self-taught artists. Join our community and participate in our educational and interactive programs to further engage with the intriguing world of folk art.
